i started pioneering in my late teens an remember how slow pioneers would walk to the doors while out in circus.
also, they would not really talk to anybody at all.
they would start their time as soon as they got dressed an out the door, while us regular shucks started our time at the first door we knocked at.
Marbles- I would have a "field day" if he would of messed with one on of my cats. For I'm a big softy when it comes to cats.
First thing I would do is report all the junk in his yard as a hazard eyesore to the neighborhood.
I would get my fellow neighbors on board with his disregard of the neighborhood.
awake 12/8 p.11 "since the release of the movie the excorsist some years ago many reports are on file of the adverse effects on those who saw it...mareen was an atheist who went to see it saying it was the most terrifying thing i had ever seen.
i was shaking all over.
during the coming weeks i was frightened to go to bed.
I seen the movie over a hundred times. Loads of Laughs coming from Watchtower. Just their Bullsh!t.

Like many here on this site. I was at a convention an something was said that just did not compute. At the meetings I started to question myself as to what was said. It was very uncomfortable. Since I was still a minor and living under my parents roof I had to put up with many unanswered questions. "Geehovah will answer your questions in time" "Wait on Geehovah, " Don't Run ahead of Geehovah's Chariot " was the response I got. I came to the conclusion that this is BS. Wish my family would wake up from this cult.

I'm glad that I quit and followed my gut that told me that the whole Jw thing was BS! I'm semi-retired. Own a house, an no longer enslaved to a cult. Wish my family would wake up but that is a different story. They would have to see it for themselves. One day they will be at the meeting or convention, an something will be said and it just will not compute, then it will be wake up time like it was for me.

My pioneering only lasted three days. I quit got a real job.
watchtower 1974 p.167 "by disobediently over indulging in food and making a glutton of himself he shows no love for jehovah..in the presents of others does he ignore their needs and selfishly take more then his fair share?
is he grossly overweight gorging himself?
does he feel uncomfortable even getting sick...this person has no place in the congregation of god...they will not inherit gods kingdom.".
That would apply to half of the congregation I was in! Elders and Pioneer s included.
pat roberston,92, comes out of his million dollar mansion ( which his loyal followers paid for ) to continue his doomsday prediction.
pat needs to make one last appearance to show his followers he was right all along.
after all his failed predictions on his ''700 club,'' pat needs to show his followers that this ''doomsday prediction'' is a bible prophecy.
I too consider myself as non religious more of a Buddhist, new age. I find groups like Jwism and others that don't serve any real purpose to the community as parasites and to be avoided.
well let me clarify the question.
i know you call yourselves apostates because the bible defines people who leave their previously held beliefs as apostates.
my question means, if the bible is not true (and i don't think it is) then there is no such thing as an apostate.i have never been a jw, only a bible student with them.
Apostate seems to fit in Watchtower world. And name calling is so High School.
interesting idea by;.
fabian strategy warrior.
to many of you, this idea might seem absurd, but is it?.
This was my problem with the Borg. I would study and start having questions. When I would go to an elder with a question, I would get the usual " Wait on Geehovah " or " That's getting Close to being Apostasy " just over questions.
any comments on the 04/2022 question from readers on divorce and remarriage.. "if a christian divorces his wife without scriptural grounds and then marries another person, how does the congregation view the previous marriage and the new marriage?".
why does that even matter how the congregation views anything?
they should be minding their own business.. if people move to a different area, the congregation wouldn't even know about.. (if a guy remarries a woman with the same first name, she would end up with the same name and no one would know).
I was Divorced from abusive partner. The congregation, the elders told me that I could not remarry. If I would remarry it would not be scriptural. This reason #15 why I'm no longer a Jw.
